By redmark, on July 18th, 2010 Tom Hicks, May 2010: “We have no intention of selling any of our top players and we have a substantial transfer budget in place”. “There’s so much misinformation about transfer spending.

It’s really about getting the right players.” Really, Tom? Let’s see. Continue reading Transfer Watch 2010 By royhendo, on July 17th, 2010 Well well well. What an illuminating day it’s been eh? Emiliano Insua is offski to Florence and it seems we’re gonna be left with Zebedee or Ermintrude at left back if we’re not careful. But never fear, Christian Purslow is here, and his heady stand is on the tiller in the pursuit of a truly competitive squad for the coming season – one that truly builds for our future. Our Chief Exe… Managing Direc… ehm, whatever his role is supposed to be is certainly no slouch when it comes to a game of Football Manager. He’s found a bug in the game whereby if you sell or release all your left backs, you’re automatically catapulted to the Champions League places. Fantastic work.

Fans openly weep in the street.

She said: “Local planning authorities are normally best placed to make decisions relating to their areas.

13th July 2006 – Whoops! Moores and Parry are running out of time to get it started or they’ll miss out on that self-same grant. The grant, by the way, is European Union grant funding awarded via the NWDA. That’s the North West Development Agency, not the rap band. Although I could be wrong. 18th July 2006 – Parry says the stadium plans ‘won’t collapse’.

No, it’s not a Rembrandt, or a Michelangelo, or a Raphael, or a Jackson Pollock. Ladies and Gentlemen, in this next few pages we’ll present the plans for Liverpool FC’s “New Anfield” stadium. This particular doodle, by a reknowned collective of grand masters under the pen name “HKS”, has cost Liverpool Football Club a mindblowing £55.8m over the course of four years. Stop and read that again. That’s £55.8m. For a set of blueprints for a stadium.* Take a minute – it’s natural to experience brain freeze when that number first meets your brain.
